Twenty years ago Darkseid came to Earth and killed all who opposed him. He then gathered together over one million slaves, those he believed genetically superior, and sterilized the planet.
Two human fleets survived, swearing their allegiance to Darkseid and becoming trade fleets which served Apocalypse. One was lead by Bruce Wayne, one by Lex Luthor. The Wayne Enterprises fleet secretly built up its forces with alliances with other worlds, hoping to one day launch an invasion to defeat Darkseid. The Lexcorp fleet slowly built up a resistance force on Apocalypse, hoping to one day overthrow Darkseid, placing Luthor on the thrown as humanity's one true ruler.

They launched their plans simultaneously, but they failed. Darkseid defeated both groups, almost killing Luthor in the process, and sending bounty hunters after Wayne and his lieutenants.

After people loyal to Luthor broke him out of prison, they launched one last, desperate plan to defeat him. Together, Luthor and Wayne built a time portal. They would use it to send people into the past, to Earth, to stop Darkseid before the invasion.

We came back in time, arriving just three days before the invasion. We must prepare Earth and its defenders, to stand against the imminent threat.

I will play as John Jordan, son of Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris, whose mother was off world on a mission at the time of the invasion. He became a Lantern at the age of 16 when Darkseid invaded Oa and he picked up the ring of a dead Lantern in an attempt to help fight him off.

This will take place in the JLU universe, so that everyone has a common world to work with.

If you'd rather fight a Lantern, though, I've got another RP. for that.

By JLU universe do you mean this JLU?

If so I am so in.

Yes, that's the JLU I mean. I figured it's popular enough that most people who are comic fans will have seen it, but includes most of the heroes and villains people are likely to use as parents/mentors.

I call dibs on Terry McGinnis Wayne as Batman.

I can't remember since it's been over a year since I watched them, but had Carol Ferris/Star Saffire switched sides by the end of JLU or was she still a member of the Legion of Doom?

I know Hal Jordan was on Oa for the entire show, with John Stewart filling the roll of Earth's green lantern.

Does that mean you'll have some fancy alien tech in your suit? Maybe a built in boom tube generator?

She was last seen fleeing the Metro Tower along with the other surviving members of the Legion, haven been given a "five-minute head start" by Batman in return for helping the League defeat Darkseid's forces.

Hadn't decided yet.

Right, I remember that scene now. I'll just say she decided to hide out offworld for a while and ran into Hal in a bar off off world. They got to reminiscing about when they were kids and... The next morning Hal got woke up by the guardians calling him to inform him John and most of the people of Earth were dead. She watched the bad news over his shoulder.
